1. We teachers need the “Show Participants” list appear as alphabetical. This is critical for attendance. It saves time taking role. We need to see who is on time, having the listing of joining members ALWAYS shift to ABC order saves a tremendous amount of time. We need this feature immediately! Even though you can download to attendance, that doesn’t help while conducting the actual class of 30 to 50 kids.
2. There are 3 steps to “Mute All” button. That takes too long. We teachers who have slower computers (and a parent who is arguing with a child) need an Instant Mute button without having to wait 10 seconds to: “select participants” then when the list appears, “select mute all” then after clicking there —the statement “would you like to mute all,” YES, then that box disappears and all are muted. Why not have an instant “Moderator Mute All” button that is always visible for instant access — and provide the option for “mute all” where members can unmute themselves and “moderates mute all” which allows for students (kinders through 3rd grate not to randomly unmute themselves—there are always a few who do).
We need a green share to have the default set to have volume ON as opposed to IFF in settings. Most times we are sharing a video and selecting that audio setting is another time consuming step that slows down our already slow computers. Why not havi it set as on — what’s the purpose of the off default???
3. We need a way to see the entire class of 25 on screen even if they do not have video on. I can not call their name and manage making sure they are actually participating if i don’t have them all in screen.
Thank you!
